The summer sun casts dappled light and shadow through the clouds. Have you been bothered by the hustle and bustle of the city under the scorching sun, and want to escape from this concrete forest to find a cool secret place of your own?
In the vast land of Gannan, the most complete and mysterious miracle place in the territory is preserved - Ganga Secret Realm. Like other discovered "resorts" on the Tibetan Plateau, it satisfies all people's imagination of a remote, simple, isolated and beautiful place, as if it were an inaccessible distance.
Located in the secret land of Ganjia Town, Xiahe County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, it is located in the transition zone between the northeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the western part of the Loess Plateau, with high altitude and unique climate, with an average temperature of 22 °C in summer. The grasslands here are vast, the streams are vertical and horizontal, and the snow-capped mountains are majestic, which is a bright pearl on the plateau.
Stepping into this secret place, you will be greeted by rolling mountains and vast grasslands. The blue sky is like a wash, the white clouds are long, and the purity is intoxicating. The vast grassland is like a huge green carpet, spreading all the way to the sky, the breeze blows, surging layers of green waves, as if it is the smart brushstrokes of nature writing the poems of life on the earth.
At the end of the grassland, thousands of white stone cliffs rise from the ground, like a screen across the world and the sky, dazzling and magnificent. The steep cliff seems to tell the vicissitudes of time, and it seems to be guarding the secrets of this land.
On the grasslands, colorful wildflowers bloom wildly, they are the spirits of nature, dancing in the breeze. The Yangqu River and the Yangla River flow gracefully, as if singing an ancient song in a low voice.
Ganga Secret Land is not only beautiful in nature, but also has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Here, you can visit the thousand-year-old city and feel the weight and vicissitudes of history.
Octagonal Ancient City, a city that has survived from the Han Dynasty to this day. Because it is different from the common square city wall, from the high sky, the octagonal ancient city is hollow cross-shaped, there are eight corners and get the name, the ancient city still retains many historical relics of the Tang and Song dynasties.
After thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the ancient city still stands on the grassland, telling the glory of the past. Qin bricks and Han tiles have all disappeared in the long river of history. The hidden ancient city, though little known, is a masterpiece of nature and humanity, and a great destination for exploring the spiritual journey.
Walking on the wooden plank road on the periphery of the ancient city ruins, the battle of the Jin Ge iron horse, the impact of weapons, and the neighing of the war horse thousands of years ago seem to be right in front of you. The horse-headed beacon tower at the corner of the city seems to tell the glory of the history of the year. The remnants of the wall and the ruined pier on the side of the plank road seem to have returned to the Tangbo ancient road of "ancient road west wind thin horse".
Today, the villagers in the ancient city still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living their own peaceful and quiet life in this village far away from the bustling city.
If the dull life and familiar scenery day after day make you lose your exploration and enthusiasm for life, then you might as well come to Ganga Secret Place, empty your body, and start a healing journey!
